Jiuhua Mountain Tiantai and Huatai scenery is very beautiful. It's just that the ropeway fee is relatively expensive (Tiantai ropeway round trip 160 yuan, Huatai ropeway round trip 160 yuan) Today I recommend everyone to save money and visit Tiantai and Huatai. And don't go back the same way Transportation 1, Monday to Friday you can drive up the mountain. The weekend is restricted, you can only take the scenic area car up the mountain. 2, If you take the train, buy a 50 yuan scenic area transportation ticket at the exit, which includes all the transportation in the scenic area, which is quite cost-effective. First, the scenic area car goes to Jiuhua Street, then transfer to the scenic area car from Huxing Mountain to Phoenix Pine, and arrive at the Tiantai ropeway upper station. Buy a one-way ropeway to Tiantai, pay attention to one-way!!!!! The cost is 85 yuan. After the tour of Tiantai is over, do not buy a return ropeway, just walk to Huatai (save 75 yuan ropeway fee). The walking time to Huatai is about 15 hours, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful. After arriving at Huatai, you can visit the Huatai plank road, which is built on the cliff, and it is quite exciting to walk around, and the scenery is infinitely good. Finally, buy a downhill ropeway from Huatai, 85 yuan. In this way, you can save 150 yuan in ropeway fees.

Taking the cable car to the Tiantai Peak, the view suddenly opens up, and the rolling mountains covered in fresh greenery are like rippling blue waves. 🏔️Temples hidden among the pine and bamboo forests, with the faint sound of chanting, bring clarity and serenity to the mind.

May Travel: Two-Day Tour Guide to Mount Jiuhua👍 Mount Jiuhua Travel Guide For the Labor Day holiday, I visited Mount Jiuhua without joining a tour group. I simply bought a ticket to the Mount Jiuhua high-speed train station, which started operating on April 26. I arrived at the station at 5:30 pm, and there were homestays nearby. The next day, I took the first direct bus to the scenic area from Mount Jiuhua high-speed train station at 8:20 am. I bought a ticket for the scenic area shuttle bus on the bus for 50 yuan per person, and it took half an hour to reach the Mount Jiuhua Tourist Service Center. There, I transferred to the Jiuhua Street scenic area sightseeing bus, which took 20 minutes on a winding mountain road to reach Yingxian Bridge. Then, I scanned a QR code to buy a ticket for 160 yuan per person to enter the scenic area, or you could buy the ticket online in advance. The scenic area is divided into three parts: Jiuhua Street, Tiantai, and Huatai. Tiantai and Huatai are vast areas that require taking a cable car up and down. Jiuhua Street scenic area includes the Gion Temple, Daxiong Treasure Hall, Baisui Palace, Dongya Zen Temple, Wanfo Pagoda, Huixiang Pavilion, Tonghui Zen Forest, Huacheng Temple, Phoenix Pine, Shangchan Hall, and Yuanshen Treasure Hall. Each temple offers free incense for tourists to worship and offer to Buddha. Baisui Palace has a cable car, but due to the long queue, I chose to climb the steps, all 1479 of them. I rested after every section and finally reached Baisui Palace after more than an hour; it was not easy. To go to Yuanshen Treasure Hall, you also have to climb more than nine hundred steps. There is no cable car, so you have to rely on your own climbing. On the return trip, I took a shuttle bus from Yingxian Bridge to the Tourist Service Center, then transferred to a free shuttle bus. I got off at Jiuhua Mountain Dayuan Cultural Park to visit the 99-meter-tall statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and then took the shuttle bus back to Mount Jiuhua high-speed train station.

Standing on the rooftop, I overlook the scenery below the mountain, feeling very open-minded. At this moment, I suddenly think of what Kazuo Inamori once said: When you stand on the first floor, someone curses at you, you hear it and get very angry. When you stand on the tenth floor, someone curses at you, you can't hear it clearly, and you might even think they are greeting you. When you stand on the hundredth floor, someone curses at you, you can't hear it at all. The reason why a person is troubled and in pain is that they lack height. Without enough height, all they see are problems; their perspective is too small, and they get entangled in trivial matters. Therefore, a person's height determines their attitude towards handling things and the dimension from which they view matters. Sitting quietly in the Jiu Zi Yan Ksitigarbha Cave, talking to myself, I experienced the calm and peace within my heart. The moment I closed my eyes, it was as if I merged with nature, without noise, without disturbance, only purity and beauty. Here, I was purified. On the gate wall of Shuangxi Temple, there is a phrase often said by Monk Daxing when he was alive, 'Good people do good for themselves, bad people harm themselves.' Every thought and action has its cause, and what one experiences now is its effect. Karma has its own certainty; as long as one has a heart of benevolence and compassion, they can sow good causes and reap good fruits. I realize that when the heart is bright, everything is bright. Jiuhua Mountain, a sacred place where the soul can find rest. During this meditation retreat, under the guidance of our teacher, every practitioner has gained a lot, purified their hearts, awakened the energy of life, elevated the dimension of wisdom, and discovered the tranquility that we inherently possess~ In the fast-paced hustle and bustle of the city, I have lost myself, but on the journey of meditation, I have found myself again. Calming the body to observe the mind, observing the vast world within the heart~
